Quietly leaving the room, Bochang opened the trash bin's lid outside.

A beam of sunlight streamed in through the crack, illuminating the dark interior of the bin.

Inside, Stelle groggily blinked her eyes open. She lifted her head, rubbed them gently, and said, "Good morning... Bochang."

The swaying motion of the trash bin had roused Stelle from her sleep.

"Good morning, Stelle. Um... perhaps you should come out first."

Bochang extended his hand.

Taking hold of his large palm, the gray-haired girl obediently stood up from within the trash bin.

As Bochang felt her delicate hands, he noticed how soft they were, quite pleasant to grip.

At that moment, Stelle was still wearing her white bathrobe.

After spending the night in the trash bin, her attire remained unchanged, unlike March 7th resting comfortably on the bed.

She stepped one leg out, flipping herself over from the bin.

A cold breeze blew past.

Stelle suddenly felt a chill beneath her robe.

Just then...

Something clicked in Stelle's mind.

"Oh right... I think I slept here overnight." The gray-haired girl scratched her head, recalling the events of last night. "Actually, sleeping inside felt quite interesting."

"As long as you enjoyed it," replied Bochang, feeling somewhat relieved by Stelle's words.

He couldn't be sure if she was merely comforting him or not.

Stelle continued, "Bochang, could you please give me this trash bin?"

"Sure."

Bochang didn't hesitate, now suspecting that Stelle might genuinely not have been just comforting him.

After all...

Stelle happily embraced Miyu's trash bin, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Witnessing this, Bochang couldn't help but internally exclaim, Why are you so fond of trash bins?!

"But... it's a bit disappointing that we couldn't sleep together last night, Bochang." Stelle gently sighed.

No one had anticipated March 7th's sudden visit.

"It's alright; let's save it for another opportunity. No rush."

"Hmm... then I'll head back to my room now."

Stelle nodded, intending to take the trash bin with her and change clothes.

Although she didn't mind changing clothes in front of Bochang,

Still...

They were not in her room, and anyone could appear at any moment.

Stelle possessed basic modesty; she certainly didn't want strangers witnessing her undressing.

"Alright, take care."

Bochang waved, watching as Stelle carried the trash bin away.

The gray-haired girl didn't inquire about March 7th's presence, possibly distracted by Miyu's trash bin.

Back in his room, Bochang looked at Bailu and March 7th lying on the bed, feeling compelled to gently rest his forehead against his palm.

The dragon girl maintained a side-lying position due to her tail. It was more comfortable for her this way; if she tried to lie flat...the tail would cause her hips to lift awkwardly.

On the other side...

For some reason, March 7th's white bathrobe had come undone at the front, revealing her fair, delicate skin.

Bochang, after contemplating briefly, stepped forward and carefully pulled the robe closed to prevent further exposure.

Just as this movement concluded, March 7th opened her eyes.

Fortunately, Bochang had already withdrawn his hand.

The pink-haired girl asked, "Bochang... what were you doing?"

"Nothing," Bochang casually replied, dismissing any suspicion.

March 7th's gaze turned skeptical. She looked at Bochang standing by the bed and said, "Really? You wouldn't be trying to take advantage of my beauty, secretly making moves on me, would you...?"

"Do you really think that's possible?" Bochang shook his head.

Naturally, it was not.

While they conversed,

Bailu also woke up.

"Is it morning already? I wanted to sleep a bit more... Hm? Bochang, why did you move over there? I want to cuddle with you." The dragon loli gently tapped the bed surface with her tail, urging Bochang to join her, "Come on, hurry..."

Her tone and actions seemed designed to tempt mischief.

However, Bochang's expression remained unchanged. "I'd like to sleep a bit more too."

With that, March 7th closed her eyes again, blatantly ignoring the previous conversation and drifting back into slumber mode.

Seeing this, Bochang responded firmly, "Alright, you two lazybones, it's time to get up now."

As she spoke...

Bochang gently pinched the small noses of both March 7th and Bailu.

"Don't forget, we have tasks to accomplish today... It's not the time for sleeping in."

Despite their desire to continue snoozing, Bochang forcibly roused them.

No matter how much March 7th and Bailu complained,

Bochang did not yield.

Soon after...

The Trailblaze squad and their guides gathered at the entrance of the Divination Commission, as agreed upon the previous night.

This had been agreed upon last night.

Everyone except Stelle and Qingque had arrived on time.

As the appointed hour approached,

Welt Yang asked, "Why isn't Stelle here yet... Did she oversleep? March, why didn't you come with Stelle this morning?"

March 7th and Stelle often moved together, which was known to everyone. Hence, Welt Yang raised his concern.

"Well... it's like this, Uncle Yang. Last night, Stelle mentioned she couldn't sleep, so she went wandering outside the Divination Commission. She might have stayed out too late and couldn't get up today. I didn't want to disturb her, hoping she could catch up on some rest, so that's why..."

March 7th offered her explanation.

Bailu lifted her head, glanced at the pink-haired girl, but said nothing.

"I see," Welt nodded gently.

Stelle didn't keep everyone waiting for long.

Soon...

Carrying her trash bin, Stelle approached them.

March 7th rubbed her chin, puzzled. "Hiss... This trash bin, haven't I seen it somewhere before?"

"Snap." Bochang placed a hand on the pink-haired girl's shoulder, "March, it's just your imagination."

"Imagination?" March 7th looked bewildered, feeling as if she had forgotten something important.

Bailu, however, appeared thoughtful.

Bochang turned to the gray-haired girl and said, "Stelle, why did you bring the trash bin with you? You shouldn't carry this outside! Please put it back quickly."

"Is it not okay?" Stelle blinked, "But I like..."

Originally, Stelle's intention was indeed to place the trash bin in her room. However, after changing her clothes...

Indeed, Stelle had initially placed the trash bin in her room.

However, after changing her clothes...

The more she looked at the trash bin, the more it appealed to her. Additionally, she discovered something quite intriguing. If she set down the trash bin, it became increasingly difficult to notice its presence afterward.

It was rather amusing.

Thus, Stelle found herself captivated and unable to resist its charm.

"No," Bochang crossed her arms, signaling clear disapproval.

Deflated, Stelle sighed, "Fine."

Having just arrived, Stelle was promptly sent away by Bochang.

As soon as they departed,

Qingque hurried over.

"My apologies, I got delayed... Didn't keep you all waiting too long, right?" The mahjong enthusiast glanced around, noticing one person was still missing. Relieved, she patted her flat chest, "Oh, so I'm not the latest after all."
